“Cassie does PHENOMENAL work!!!! I've worked with her multiple times over the past 5 or so years and she never disappoints. So of course I had to have her when my own wedding rolled around. And with no surprise the images turned out just beautifully!! We've gotten so many compliments and we can't find one bad picture in the batch. Highly highly highly recommend Narrowleaf Photography for any occasion!!”

5-star reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Utah Wedding
I cannot say enough about how absolutely amazing Cassandra and Mike are at Narrowleaf!!! We loved the entire experience working with them!
Not only did they include their travel in their super competitive and reasonable price, they also helped with the wedding planning along the way and provided the most epic wedding photos of all time! Our extended family was a little upset when we first announced that we would be having an intimate destination wedding but once they saw the "magazine worthy" photos, they understood exactly why we celebrated the way we did. Every picture came out so beautiful that even 2 months later we have not been able to pick which photos we want to print because we LOVE THEM ALL!!
Aside from their professionalism and incredible photography skills, Cassandra and Mike were so fun to spend our wedding day with. They were open to every idea we had and were down for every dirty, daring, and "epic" location we wanted to photograph in. My husband and I are not models by any means and are usually uncomfortable in front of a camera but they made us feel like ourselves and helped us get in the photo taking zone every step of the way. I am so glad to we booked them for our wedding and I would legit want to book them for every big photoshoot I do in the future!

We cannot recommend Cassandra at Narrowleaf Photography enough! She was so fun to work with, incredibly professional, kind, patient, and took stunning photos! I was nervous about our engagement session because I'm not used to being photographed and felt awkward, but she makes anyone participating in a photo session feel like a total rockstar. Her fun and energetic attitude is truly infectious. The pictures she took were natural and so sweet and beautiful! You can tell that this is so much more than a job to her. She will go the extra mile to make sure she gets the best images she can from the session. The love of her work shines through her pictures. On our wedding day when I felt pulled in a million directions, Cassandra knew what kind of pictures I wanted to get and was so seamless about timing when we could sneak away for photos so that I didn't end up missing my own party but also got every amazing image I wanted. She ended up staying late just so she could capture a few final images of the end of our reception, which meant so much to me. You can't go wrong hiring Cassandra, you'll cherish her pictures forever.

Cassandra and Mike totally captured our day EXACTLY how we wanted it! They were so much fun to hang out with and take pictures. My husband and I have never had so much fun taking photos. We also have never been able to be so comfortable to be super intimate in front of a camera, but we were able to with our awesome photographers! Cassandra's work is absolutely breathtaking; from great exposure to moody lighting. She knows how to work a camera, get that amazing bokeh, and capture raw images. I am so pleased and cannot wait to see the rest of our photos! She was also so accommodating and flexible given our changes in schedule surrounding the pandemic. We always felt supported and secure. Thank you!
